The Cadence Academic Network helps build strong relationships between academia and industry, and promotes the proliferation of leading-edge technologies and methodologies at universities renowned for their engineering and design excellence.

A huge knowledge exchange platform for academia to network with industry. We are looking for academic speakers to talk about their research to the industry attendees at the Academic Track at CDNLive EMEA and Silicon Valley.

I understand - and it would be trivial to do precisely that under the hood. We've also been looking into having more of this kind of copy-paste paradigm in the tools. That said, the approach I suggested is hardly onerous on the user!

Ah, I just remembered that I wrote something to do precisely this, although for layout. It probably needs a bit of work to make it work OK with schematic. If I have a moment later today I'll see what I can do to update it for schematic/symbol copying too.

OK, here's the updated version that should work with schematics (sorry, ran out of time to do it the other day). If you define two bindkeys, one with abCopyPaste->copy() and another with abCopyPaste->paste() it will do what you want - if you have infix turned on, it won't prompt you for a reference point (you can control that separately for layout - see the comments at the top for details).
